I was always excited that my in-laws had hung my eclipse photos in the guest bedroom (left).
Since they’ve passed, my wife and her siblings redecorated. (middle)
My eclipse photos are now basically in the junk heap. (right)
Sure makes me feel valued.

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

Another wave crashing over iceberg.
Love taking these photos - very challenging to get the shutter speed right, split-second timing right, hoping that the iceberg doesn't move even an inch while all this is happening. But when it works, it's pretty satisfying!

🧪 If this observation holds up, I think it’s the first direct signal we’ve detected of a dark matter particle (rather than indirectly inferring their existence from gravitational effects. Exciting!
I wonder if it’s consistent with what we (haven’t) seen at the LHC…

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

"vaccine injuries" ... every single one of them came out of the doctor's office or pharmacy with a band-aid!
BLITZER: Are you still against the covid vaccine? Because the other day I got the covid booster and the flu shot
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I am opposed, Wolf, and I'm opposed because I know so many people who had vaccine injuries

The 22° halo isn’t very prominent, but that’s a neat circumzenithal arc.
